    2 weeks since the last poll - no news so how is everyone feeling now...

    Anyone more convinced its genuine, as its taking so long...?

    Any doubts starting to set in that it might not happen...?

    It will happen <ok>

    Maybe tomorrow, but we've heard that one before.

    Those books & paper trails must be a nightmare to wade through which is exactlly why Bates set it up like that to Syphon money.

    Wish it would hurry up as our pre season is starting and we need to get a move on!

    It's a takeover of a major English football club run by Ken Bates, did you think it would happen overnight?

    Too much has been said by people who actually know what's going on. Yesterdays comments by Warnock sealed it for me. "They are good people and have the club at heart, and want what I want..." Remember he also said that whats happened in the past with player contracts is criminal, obviously a swipe at Bates & Co, plus he said he had offers to go elsewhere when everyone knew he wasn't happy about money for players.

    Turns out the only director, Keith Allen, is married to Yvonne Allen. Yvonne is an old chum of Ken's from back in his Chelsea days, and is also a serving director of Leeds United.

    Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. <whistle>

    Bucks it could also mean Bates has moved LUTV to a different company and will keep it after the sale :emoticon-0111-blush

    This was posted by someone on the YEP thread:

    I have seen with some interest that 'Leeds United Vision Limited' was registered at Companies House yesterday. Could this be the new company set up by the new owners (prospective new owners) to purchase the club? The same thing happened at Nottingham Forest, NFFC Group Holdings Limited was registered two days before the takeover was announced

    http://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/treliss-designs lots of dodgy companies linked with this woman at ER

    Accept it is BATES secretary Yvonne Allen who has set it up...

    Unless it has been set up to include everything that is for sale or everything left over after the sale like the Radio station?

    Yvonne Allen has been with him since his Chelsea days, so I want her as far away from our club as possible.

    We did the same thing (accounts wise) when we were reborn after admin.

    Takeover will happen in the next two days. There I said it, nailed to the mast & I'm prepared to go against the odds & also prepared for the ribbing I will quite rightly get if I am wrong!

    By the way I am not ITK or claim to know anyone ITK its just a educated guess <ok>

    Certainly think it's starting to build towards an announcement, hope so.

    Btw chaps, she's not Bates secretary as far as I can see, She's an accountant that is Company Secretary to a few companies. There's a big difference.

    Slut Yvonne Stella Allen loves cock and has been used on a regular basis by the directors of Leeds Utd. Former gentlemans club hostess Yvonne has bent over backwards to help Bates and mates, but adds no value to the club or its fans. She will of course have sweetened the deal especially if they are Arabs, as they love blonde MILF who put out :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Well, I'll think I will 'switch off' for a week, like everyone else I'm completely fed up with the wait and the disruption to squad development. Saving grace is that Forest don't yet have a manager to influence their buying power and secure the players we may be after first.

    Would think that if there is nothing announced (e.g. a call for a press conference) by 11 a.m tomorrow morning, then it rolls over to next week. Normally PR announcements/press calls aim for lunchtime news for evening and national coverage.

    Seen a sensible seeming suggestion on WACCOE that all the various companies making up the different parts of the club will be transferred collectively to this new company, which will then be bought by the new owners.
